Refresh rate

The number of times per minute that a computer CRT monitor screen image is renewed. A fast refresh rate makes a screen easier to view and is much better for your eyes. Good monitors have a refresh rate of 70 to 75 hertz per second or higher.
  • To help prevent eye strain, we recommend users have their CRT monitors set to refresh rate of at least 75 Hertz. Information about how to set the refresh rate can be found on document CH000558
  • LCD displays do not have a refresh rate; however, if you need to set a rate, values of 40Hz or 60Hz can be used.
  • Additional information about refresh rates and other video related questions can be found on our video card help page.
